My mistake
Thought this year would bring something different
And I'm the same old story
Haunted memories
All the way (all the way)
All the way from the warmth of your hands
You wouldn't even let me hold them
Another one
So over them
Kill me twice
Finalize my shelf life
Now you're alone
Do you feel any better?
Left to commence
And a heavy head
(Leave me)
The brightest of wizards, I bit her and love came on gushing out
(Leave me)
Guzzled some lizards, my skin turned to scale, felt it wrap around
(Leave me)
Payments get vicious, account gettin' roasted and flayed
(Leave me)
I started a party, and partied, and partied, and flew away
Please don't feel like
I'm attacking you
I did some things too
And pushed you away
It needs to
The feelings of the past will surely fade through
To live another day
Looks like I was someone I could barely recognize
Hope it's not too late to scatter this disguise
My mistake
Thought this year would bring something different
And I'm the same old story
Haunted memories
All the way (all the way)
All the way from the warmth of your hands
You wouldn't even let me hold them
(Leave me)
The brightest of wizards, I bit her and love came on gushing out
(Leave me)
Guzzled some lizards, my skin turned to scale, felt it wrap around
(Leave me)
Payments get vicious, account gettin' roasted and flayed
(Leave me)
I started a party, and partied, and partied, and flew away
